Cost effective alternatives

Post by Oldbloke » 20 Oct 2019, 3:35 pm

I bought two of these today. $4 at Kmart in bright orange to wear hunting.

An equivalent in a sports store probably $20 - $35 with a dash of black paint.

Anyone have other examples?

Cant think of any at the moment...

But i live & work in caps & so they dont last long ..most people i meet dont even know there's no hair under the cap & get a shock when i lift it.. :unknown: .lol...

I dont leave the house without one on...so im a fan of the K-mart caps... :thumbsup:

I absolutely refuse to give someone $25 to pay for the advertising of their product...if they want me to advertise it, they can give me one... :thumbsup:

I know quality isn't quite the same. But I reckon you would have to be a as dull as dish water or be pretty well off to pay $30 for an orange cap.

I think most people will be into this one however for those who use a sonic cleaner, use vinegar instead of the $30 bottle of solution.

Actually I think it may have been you that put me onto vinegar water detergent solution a few years ago Oldbloke.

I have heard that you can use vinegar salt and detergent as a herbicide.
